I don't think that's a Mark 48. AFAIK, no surface ships carry the 48.

Those things are huge compared to what we had on DLG's. I don't recall the number but they were closer to 15" diameter and about 10' long while the Mark 48 is about 20" in diameter and close to 20' long.

Thats a surfaced launched MK46 torpedo, not a submarine launched MK48.
